Can Starfield Be Played in Third-Person?

So, let’s not beat around the bush here and jump straight to the chase. The answer is yes, you can play Starfield in Third-Person. In fact, this is not some separate mode of play, which you can only play separately from the first-person mode. Rather, you can switch between the first-person and third-person camera seamlessly while playing with a simple press of a button. You can do this at any moment, whenever you wish, without the need to even enter the menu and change the settings.

As a game where most of the combat is done with various guns, first-person mode will be preferred for many players due to being more natural for shooting gameplay. However, playing in the third person is a way to go for exploration and bigger awareness of your surroundings. In addition, Starfield offers an impressive array of customization options for your character. It would be a shame to spend hours fine-tuning your character’s appearance, only not to see them ever again. With the third-person camera, you will be able to look at your character whenever you want.

Bethesda veterans know that switching between first and third-person at will is not a new thing. All Elder Scrolls and Fallout games since Morrowind have the same feature from the get-go. With that said, our “Can You Play Starfield in Third-Person?” guide is completed.

What I'm trying to say is that I should be credited for NASA's Mars missions. (I'm just kidding, please don't shoot me). In my free time, I dream of the day when I will finally start clearing my Steam backlog.
